A powerful intention coalesces our thinking, belief and emotions around the transformation we want to create. It focuses the direction of our efforts and helps chart the way forward. Intention is a deeply subjective mindset arising out of a personal story, which becomes a platform for change and transformation. Impact, however, happens in the external theater where our personal story must engage effectively with the reality of the situation.
Intentions blends our thinking, belief and emotions around the transformation we want to create. Intention is highly subjective and happens at a personal level in the mind. It creates a platform for transformation. Impact on the other side is the reality and happens on the outside of self. This is for others to see.
Therefore, leaders much watch their intention through the eyes of the world, and in so doing, regulate and shape its expression. Intention and impact should go hand-in-hand. Whilst the intention provides a subjective map that helps us go forward, impact provides the objective compass that shapes what we must do. If it is self-awareness that allows the intention to flower, it is situational awareness, or the ability to read reality that regulates intention. So, the two must never stray away too far from each other.
I agree because the leadership position is not easy
